Three teams made up of two female student pilots and flight instructors each represented Embry Riddle’s campuses in Daytona Beach Florida and Prescott Arizona.
The crew will make the more than 2,600 mile trip across the United States along with nearly 100 other women pilots in a race that traces back to Amelia Earhart.

The Women’s Air Classic, started on June 20th in Frederick Maryland and concluded June 23 in Santa Fe New Mexico.
